Mr. Speaker, after eight long years, Liberal government members could not recognize a strong business case if it smacked them in the face. In August of last year, the German chancellor, badly hit by retaliation from Russia for supporting Ukraine, came to Canada looking for a supply of natural gas. The Prime Minister's response was that there was not a “strong business case” to export liquefied natural gas from Canada to Europe. Therefore, I asked the government on what specific evidence or analysis, if any, the Prime Minister based his claim. The response I received was that it did not fit within Canada's plan. However, according to Canadian Gas Association CEO Timothy Egan, “if you revisit the regulatory framework, those business cases become stronger fast.” A Conservative government will support businesses that meet the strongest environmental standards instead of getting in their way. To our G7 partners, a Conservative government is coming and we will deliver.
